The Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr., of Atlanta, Ga., is congratulated by Norway’s Crown Prince Harald, left, and King Olav after being presented with the 1964 Nobel Peace Prize on Dec. 10, 1964. Looking on is his wife, Coretta Scott King. King, a Baptist minister, was honored for his non-violent leadership in the Civil Rights Movement. He accepted the award on behalf of the movement and “all men who love peace and brotherhood.” He had announced the prize money, about $54,000, would go to aid the struggle for social justice. He is the second Black American and the youngest person — at 35 — to win the Nobel Peace Prize. (RNS archive photo. Photo courtesy of the Presbyterian Historical Society.)
